Heat transfer Oils

Product Description
Mobiltherm heat transfer oils are high performance products intended for use in closed indirect heating
installations. They are recommended for use in cold-oil sealed, indirect heating and cooling systems in all kinds
of industrial processes.

Mobiltherm heat transfer oils are formulated from highly refined base stocks that are resistant to thermal
cracking and chemical oxidation. They are very thermally stable and are capable of an extremely long service life
without deposit formation or viscosity increase.

Mobiltherm heat transfer oils have good heat transfer efficiency and their viscosities are such that they can be
pumped readily at both start-up and operating temperatures. They demonstrate specific heat and thermal
conductivities that provide more rapid heat dissipation. The flash points of these oils will not decrease
significantly in service because of their resistance to thermal cracking at the operating temperatures for which
they are recommended.

Features and Benefits


Mobiltherm oils are important members of the Mobil brand of specialty fluids that have gained a reputation for
performance and reliability, even in severe applications. Modern refining techniques are a key factor in providing
the excellent product features.

Mobiltherm 600 Series offer the following benefits:

Applications
Application Considerations: Mobiltherm heat transfer oils should not be mixed with other oils since this may
impair the excellent thermal and oxidation stability resulting in a change in other properties, and complicate
analyses aimed at determining useful oil life. If the oils are used above their recommended maximum
temperatures, vapor lock may result unless the system is designed to operate at the higher temperature by
pressurizing with an inert gas such as nitrogen. At higher temperatures, fluid life will be shortened because the
rate of thermal degradation which increases markedly as temperatures rise above the recommended limit. In
well-designed systems the temperature of the oil film surrounding the heating element should be about 15C to
30C above the bulk oil temperature. If higher than this, the service life of the oil may be shortened and sludge
and coke may be deposited which would interfere with the heat transfer rates.

As with other mineral oils, Mobiltherm heat transfer oils should be used only in systems with forced circulation.
Systems that depend on convection for circulation of the heat transfer medium do not provide a rapid enough
flow to prevent local overheating and rapid deterioration of the oil. Further, these oils are not recommended for
use in open systems where hot oil is exposed directly to the air. If they spray or escape from leakage points, hot
Mobiltherm oils may spontaneously ignite.

Mobiltherm 600 series can be used in open and closed installations where the bulk oil temperature ranges are as
outlined in the table below.

Mobiltherm 603: Closed Systems (-15 C to 285 C), Open Systems (-15 C7 C to 150 C)
Mobiltherm 605: Closed Systems (-12 C to 315 C), Open Systems (-12 C to 180 C)
Mobiltherm 610: Open systems (-6C to 250C)
Mobiltherm 611: Open systems (-6C to 275C)
